Politics of Indignation – Imperialism, Postcolonial Disruptions and Social Change

Peter Mayo
Publication date: October 2012

This work focuses on contemporary issues within the context of neoliberalism and colonial legacies, while exploring decolonizing  spaces.

Peter Mayo shows us with his most challenging and original new book not only the central problem of a globalizing Mediterranean world (including the Arab world and its indignant youth), but he also provides us with most important insights how to develop new concepts for new learning situations. Ursula Apitzsch, Professor of Political Science and Sociology, Goethe-University of Frankfurt/Main,

Politics of Indignation is a challenging, accessible and exciting book. Not only does it provide a critical analysis of the neoliberal onslaught on public education across a range a countries, it also offers new insights into the dynamics of control, while demonstrating how and where resistance has succeeded… I strongly recommend it to all of those who wish to comprehend and to resist the attacks on public education. Kathleen Lynch, UCD Equality Studies Centre, School of Social Justice, University College Dublin, Ireland.

Peter Mayo’s fascinating book is as timely as it is important. Benedetto Fontana,
